So I stumbled across
The Illustrious Order of Cast On Knitting Scouts. I resemble some of these remarks:
The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge -- I blog about it (sometimes). I have Rockin' Sock Club mini-skeins on my desk at work. I knit in public. I will explain at length to anyone who will listen (this is an admittedly small list).
The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) -- I rigged a tube-shaped row counter to hang from my needle by a loop (instead of sliding the needle through the tube) with some wire and a
washer bolt some square metal thingie with a hole in the center.
The “Knitting Has Forced Me to Seek Medical Attention” Badge (Level One) –- See
here. Do Internet articles possibly written by "alternative healthcare professionals" count?
The “I Will Impress You With My Math Prowess” Badge -- I grok basic knitting math and am reasonably good with substituting yarns.
The “I Will Crush You With My Math Prowess” Badge -- I'm knitting a Moebius shawl and once went on a browsing spree for math-based knitting and explanations of the concepts behind them. I know what the Fibonacci sequence is. I have thrilled at the notion of using binary to encode something in a scarf.
The “Knitting Whilst Under the Influence” Badge -- It was only a novelty yarn scarf, but it was aided by a lot of
Chambord and a viewing of the MST3K episode "
Pod People."
